You can't? Why not?
The "flat" file system may make it a little awkward to select a book when you have hundreds on the machine, but it certainly doesn't mean that you can't do it. Unless you're constantly switching between books I honestly don't see it as an issue - the only time I have to navigate the index is when I've finished one book, and I'm deciding when one to read next. Most of the time I just switch on the machine and there's my page.

Come on, that's putting it a bit strongly, isn't it?
The basic task - that of reading a book from cover to cover - the Reader does superbly well. It's the "auxiliary stuff" - file management, searching, etc - that has the shortcomings. If you just want to select a book, start at the beginning and read it through to the end, the Reader handles it just fine, to my mind at least.
